Abstract
Methods and apparatus for transmitting and receiving symbols in a communication system having a plurality of frequency bands are provided. A first symbol is transmitted on a first tone using a first constellation mapping and a second symbol is transmitted on a second tone using a second constellation mapping different from the first constellation mapping. The first symbol is retransmitted on the second tone using the second constellation mapping and the second symbol is retransmitted on the first tone using the first constellation mapping. The first and second symbols are detected from a combination of the received transmitted and retransmitted first and second signals.
